Thick fleshy lance-shaped leaves with toothed margins in a basal rosette, larger overall than Haworthia
Growing characteristics
Growth habit: basal rosette succulent. Drought tolerance: very high.
Wilting looks different than in leafy plants - thinning, curling, and deflation of the fleshy leaves is the meaningful drought signal, not conventional droop.
Plant Mood Meter: Chill AF
Drought-tolerant and straightforward as long as it receives strong light and is not kept wet.

Soil / substrate
Gritty, fast-draining succulent mix with substantial mineral content.
Humidity
Average dry household air is suitable.
Support / growth
No support needed.
